Scouts are paid to help their teams, if they think that too many people like a player they want to draft a scout might start saying he isn’t as good with the hopes that teams will want to pick a “popular” player and please their fans. If fans think Randle is the best maybe Wiggins drops to 2 and that’s exactly what a scout wants. Really though, hype is meaningless. In the NBA if you don’t pick the right player GMs are fired. If someone is really to be the next Jordan does that mean they should slip to 3rd and have some dude named Bowie taken ahead of him? We’d all like to think that the next MJ would go 1 overall, but maybe that’s not the case.
